WHY PARTICIPATE IN THE PASBO DATA STRATEGY? Are you responsible for employee benefit costs for your district? Do you contribute to employee benefits decisions being made each year? Do you make better decisions by understanding the data first? Would you like to be able to measure benefit costs on a monthly basis? Do you think the health and pharmaceutical decisions you will face in the future will get clearer and less costly? Would it be beneficial to have regional and statewide benchmarks for cost, quality, and population health? 5 WHY PARTICIPATE IN THE PASBO DATA STRATEGY? Claims data is your data if your district/iu is self-insured! You are the purchaser. Neither you nor your benefits advisor have not been able to get data from your carrier that is insightful and actionable. Your benefits advisor can help you even more with this data. Innovu has experts in medical, pharmacy, actuarial modeling, and risk analytics Innovu can correlate data between medical, pharmacy, dental, vision, biometric, workers comp, retirement, disability, absence management PASBO is supporting this data strategy to help you make decisions in your local market 6 3
